Sumter reports over half a million in building activities for the" past year. Among the new buildings going up are two hotels, a 7-story office building, manufacturing plants and establishments arc doubling and trebling their capacity, and, best of all, new manufacturing concerns, employing skilled labor and paying good wages, are coming. From an agricultural standpoint the outlook is equally encouraging, The statement that no western corn has been bought or brought into Denmark for the past three years tells the whole story in simple but eloquent words of what the new agriculture is doing for this splendid section of the stato. The cotton crop, its sizo and its price, is not the miserable life and death affair of former years. The mar ket for truck of all sorts, for home supplies, for corn and hay, canning factories, manufacturing of all sorts, is what oounts these days in the life and prosperity of these up to-date people. Georgia neighbors may well learn a lesson from the farms and towns and cities of South Carolina—a lesson of thrift, of diversified farming, of intelligent manufaotur. ing and commercial community endeavor that is fast making the territory tributary to Augusta one of the gar den spots of the world. HELP THE Y. W. C. A. BENEFIT BUILDING FUND The good work that tho Young Women’s Christian As sociation is doing for the girls of Augusta deserves your h<farty help and co-operation. For many years Augusta has seen what this kind of work can do and has done for the men and boys of tho city. WHY NOT DO THE SAME FOR THE WOMEN AND GIRLS OF AUGUSTA ? One of these days the Y. W. C. A. is to have a home of its own for the better handling of the work in this city. Already a modest start has been made for a building fund for the home of the Y. W C. A. This work will be kept up until a sufficient fund is in hand to authorize de finite steps being taken for the completion of this work. In the meantime, the work steadily goes on to add to this fund, and it is a work that deserves and should have your help. The “Paint and Powder Club,” a dramatio organiza tion of amateurs, proposes to contribute its mite to this worthy cause, and has generously donated the proceeds of its coming entertainment, at the Grand, on April 2nd, to this cause. The play to be given is “Cousin Kate,” and both the efforts of the club and the cause for which they are put forth calls for a hearty response from the people of Augusta. Help with your presence and help with your dollars on April 2nd. Buy a few bricks with your name on them for the new Y. W. 0. A. building. ANOTHER PROTEST AGAINST MARTIAL LAW BEING DE CLARED IN AMERICA The Atlanta Georgian, in a recent editorial, declares : “The case of Mother Jones,, “The Angel of the Miners," and her companions now being tried for murder before an improvised military court, should raise up a gen eral protest against the excesses of martial law. It is ab surd to say that West Virginia is “in a state of civil war” —in any such sense as should be held to work a suspen sion of the right of trial by jury under the Federal Con stitution. “Judge Littlepage, of the United States circuit court, has allowed “the ablest members of the West Virginia bar” to persuade him “that a Federal court has no right to interfere with a court-martial duly organised under the laws of a state.” “In Section 4, Article 4, of the Federal Constitution, the United States undertakes to guarantee “to state in this Union a republican form of government.” In the same section the nation pledges itself to protect each of the states against foreign invasion, and also when necessary, to protect any state “against domestic viol ence.” “In Section 10 of Article 1 it is provided that no state shall, without the consent of the congress, “keep troops y-jnf •\F ■}?** f ££rlj _*Sjr iWW * Jzr7 jEafS^ffiSplKP By Alice Bench Win ter, In “The Masees”. There are such mothers, out of place in the human race. Some “good mothers’’ are more foolish than this one, although not as heartless. or ships of war in time of peace * * * or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”, “Thus the plain intention of the Constitution is to re strict the arbitrary authority and military power of state governments to the narrowest limits. The Constitution intends even that some risk of local disorder shall be bravely incurred rathor than that the guaranties of lib erty and democracy shall be overturned by excited gov. ernors and militiamen.” STUDENTS IN LATIN QUARTER USE DRUGS Cocaine and Opium Are Mak ing Ravages. Student ‘Pilfer’ Drugs and Sell Them. Police At Work. Paris.-—Opium anil cocaine are re ported to have been making ravages In the Latin quarter. The young stu dents, not content with the natural soporifics contained in their text books. have been looking for more powerful philters in the forbidden drugs stored *\vay In the medical lab oratories. if we are to go to sleep, they seem to argue, let It not be the effect of the professor’s lecture, but of a drug, and to drugs, therefore, they h»ve taken. Four students and one young woman have been arrested on the charge of selling the drugs, and meanwhile they may continue their studies In prison cells. One of 1 the students paid frequent visits to the municipal laboratory, not to se cure books, but to appropriate quan tities of coc&lge. which he gave to i the young woman to sell and out of I which they both made a good profit. ! This is what the police allege. On the other hand, those who knew the Latin quarter are astontahed at the sudden virtuous indignation of the police. For years opium and cocaine have been consumed In large quanti ties. The owner of a brasserie sgva that all the world knows that for ten years and more nearly all the young ! folka who spend their nights In the j cases Indulged in cocaine. For tha last two years It hits been quite tha fashion. "Give me some coco," is a j common request between young wom en and students, and one of them usually has enough of the drug to sat isfy the whole company. They coma I to a case keeper and say; "Patron, | have you a cablne whera we can in* , dulgo in coco?" and tha "patron" usually has the place available. As soon us a newcomer, often » girl, turns up, she " made to taste the drug. She soon ifets to like it, and j the students are never asked twice, j Jt ts terrible how much more popular the cocaine dens are. compered with the lecture halls. But it is a matter which the old habitue of the Latin quarter thinks concerns the parents of the young people more than the ' police.
